How does converge work if you match more than one color simultaneously?

Say I have a Converge card which has a current converge count of 0 and is only 1 mana short of it's casting cost (however that happened...) and then I swap 2 gems creating a Black and a White match at the same time; not as a cascade with one match happening just after the other, but so that the gems all burst at the same time. Will the Converge count be increased by both Black AND White, or only one of them? If it's only one, what determines which one? The positions of the matches on the board? Or is there some order that colors are always counted?

Similarly, what happens if mana completes the first card in my hand and then spills over into the Converge card? Let's say I'm Liliana, and I have an Evolving Wilds, and a Painful Truths in my hand. I make a White match 3 and a Green match 3 simultaneously, for 6 mana, which fills up the Evolving Wilds and puts 3 mana in the Painful Truths. What color of mana will be counted towards Converge in the Painful Truths?

However it's supposed to work, I'm not sure it's working properly. Yesterday I was in this situation with Liliana: I had a Despoiler of Souls with 3 mana left to fill, and a Painful Truths under it. I made a Black match 3 for 6 mana, and a Red match 3 for 4 mana, and afterwards I was left with a Painful Truths with 7 mana in it, and a Converge count of 1. Clearly both Red *and* Black mana must have gone into the Painful Truths.
